[QUOTE="Biggun4214, post: 5832966, member: 2228"] Trout, crappie, and white bass seem to the main fish of hoarding in my area. I guess they are usually easier to catch than most species. Walleye and sauger are somewhat, because they are another preferred eating fish. As far as catching hoarders, an officer can check someone in the morning and unless they have their limit and are leaving, the odds of checking them again the same day is slim. We worked some Hispanics below Cherokee several years ago. The day I worked them they would pull into the parking lot and stand at the top of the ramp. The trout was hitting good. I was catching them in a float and fly. They never fished. Next time trout were stocked another officer fished and hadn't been there 30 minutes and one of the Hispanics had a limit and took it to the truck and came back to fish. Before he finished his second limit another Hispanic pulled in and started to get the first limit. I pulled in before he could them in his cooler so we caught 2 for one. There were no more complaints on them after that. Just because you don't see anyone getting caught that doesn't mean that officers aren't working on the problem. Catching violators isn't as quick and easy as you might think. I caught 2 Virginia fishermen with over 150 white bass. I actually impounded their pontoon boat by chaining it to the dock. They were supposed to have a mandatory appearance in court. They went in before court and the judge allowed them to only pay a $10 fine and court cost. [/QUOTE]
